\"Radikal\"Positive vibes Hauraruni village kid Jason Beaton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amidst much talk of youths being only associated with negative vibes and influences of violence in dancehall this publication introduces Jason Lester Beaton a.k.a ‘Radikal one.’<\/p>\n

From Hauraruni, Soesdyke linden highway this youth age 22 is a kid with big dreams to promote positivism in dance hall\/ reggae Gospel style and has\u00a0 completed a six track album to prove this.<\/p>\n

A graduate of the Dora Secondary School he is currently\u00a0 a student Global technology\u00a0 Studying Network Plus and A+ with the ultimate goal to become an entrepreneur\u00a0 who\u00a0 has the business know how but can also sing of the unsearchable riches of God in Christ Jesus. “I got started singing six years ago in churches and at various entertainment events and thus far I’ve completed a six track album aptly titled ‘RADIKAL ONE,” he said.<\/p>\n

Standing at\u00a0 the height of 6ft 6ins, like every youth he says he has had his fare share of hanging with the crowd and wanting to fit in no matter the cost, and often was\u00a0 a problem child in secondary school. As he puts it “my parents are Christian missionaries and I was the embarrassment.” Then came the wake up call through a friend.\u00a0 “He asked me, how could you be the child of pastors and be living the life of a rebellious kid… no example at all,” Radika recalled.<\/p>\n

Though he had heard words to that effect before that statement finally made sense and his womanizing days grounded to a halt.\u00a0 Now the rest is His-story.<\/p>\n

I’m now focused on\u00a0 my educational development seriously; and also on\u00a0 my music … I love Dancehall and I know what\u00a0 it can do\u00a0 to\u00a0 youths so I’m\u00a0 gonna\u00a0 sing dance hall\u00a0 laced with the\u00a0 word of God to create positive influences in the lives of\u00a0 partying youths.\u00a0 To me Youths are not all bad we just sometimes do things to fit in and also to be part of the in crowd to get attention but I am proof to say things can turn around with God for a better living.<\/p>\n

The six tracks album comprises five songs created in the Brutal tracks Studios with assistance from Ken da Beat Maker and another done in Trinidad.<\/p>\n

They include ‘Na compromise’\u00a0 which declares that\u00a0 no matter what the cost we need to\u00a0 decide that we stand for God always and though the road may get tough God will see us through at any age and stage.<\/p>\n

‘Come mek them fight meh’ is another hot song that encourages you to hold fast to your dreams despite the nay Sayers.<\/p>\n

The artistes who is\u00a0 aiming to go global with his message\u00a0 also\u00a0 has completed a song titled ‘give Jesus everything’ and that features artistes from Canada and Trinidad such as DJ evangelist, Baby C, Kester D and Tandika as well as himself.<\/p>\n

On the album too there is one song that speaks of war in which many youth dies, but this version tell of what one has to do\u00a0 to ensure that one\u00a0 stands\u00a0 with God\u00a0 against spiritual and emotional issues and unfolding with principalities and powers and\u00a0 rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places.<\/p>\n

Another must hear for Dancehall lovers seeking positive vibes is the “God the\u00a0 Greatest” song which tells of\u00a0 the undying and unwavering love of God\u00a0 for man kind despite their wicked ways.<\/p>\n

Last but not least is the one that was done for a Bahamas based deejay ‘God Son’\u00a0 titled ‘ Search feh them soul’ and it tells encourages Christians to\u00a0 get out of their bench warming ways\u00a0 and going into the world and to preach and teach as alight to those in the dark.<\/p>\n

“I patter myself off of my brother-in-law Solid Youth who is the motivator that keeps me going musically.\u00a0 Radikal One is signed to the ReadyBack Records label out of Jamaica headed by Saint Matthews. He can be contacted on 646-2716email radikalone@hotmail.com you can also find him on face book and myspace social networks.<\/p>\n

As he trod on to fulfill his calling in God as a Christian he say the music is laced with the word of God but is not just for\u00a0 Christians\u00a0 it’s for any\u00a0 person who want to\u00a0 enjoy\u00a0 and learn of God’s goodness at the youth dancehall level.<\/p>\n

Ultimately he’s aiming to hit the international music main stream where he says he will be able to ad to the voices that speak of positive vibes and hope for youths.<\/p>\n
